Singer Lily Allen has called herself an idiot after she turned down the opportunity to be paid millions of pounds worth of Bitcoins.

Lily was asked to play a gig for website Second Life in the digital currency several years ago and was offered ‘hundreds of thousands’ of Bitcoins, but refused.

Now that Bitcoins are no longer in their infancy, the singer is kicking herself, as the gig would have been worth millions to her.

‘About 5 years ago someone asked me to stream a gig live on second life for hundreds of thousNds of bitcoins, “as if” I said. #idiot #idiot.(sic)’ she tweeted on Sunday.

One Bitcoin is currently worth £610.

However, Lily probably isn’t doing too badly by most people’s standards. The singer is worth an estimated £6m and has enjoyed a lucrative comeback with single Hard Out Here and her cover of Keane’s Somewhere Only We Know, which was a hit after being featured in John Lewis’ Christmas advert last year.

Lily recently told Q magazine: ‘I wasn’t surprised to come back again, but I was surprised to want to so soon.
